Default Torque twist

Can a rigs drivetrain get all stiff in the cold? I left my truck in the car for a few days, maybe dipping into the mid upper 30's at night. I installed the updated skidplate and did a test drive, and now every thing is stiff enough to make the whole body twist bad on level ground when I pull the trigger.

Check your shocks to make sure there's oil in them, that they didn't leak out and also hopefully you gave some time to warm-up as well.

Figured it out this morning. One of the screws that mount the rt rear wheel hub was just a hair too long and was rubbing on the axle joint.

I was wrong. My wheel nuts were on too tight. Fixed that and go figure, I snap a driveshaft. Thats what I get for asking about them.

Just wanted to end this thread on a good note and say thanks to rc2000. I got to go crawling today thanks to you. I really appreciate you hooking me up with your spare driveshaft.
